After years at the helm, Kwan Jin Peng has stepped down from from his position as Chairman of MPASTRO. Siu Yung has been appointed as the new Chairman, while Jin Peng will stay on as an advisor to the society.

AGASTRO has been a very active member of the astronomy community, having organised a wide range of activties throughout last year, and continues to do so this year. With a dedicated management, and helmed by Jin Peng, a veteran in astronomy outreach, we are certain that AGASTRO will increase the vibrancy of the local astronomy scene.

The 13th Nanyang Polytechnic Astronomy Competition will be held on 12th March 2010, Friday.

Secondary school students (or the equivalent) may participate in either the Advanced Astronomy Competition or the Team Astronomy Competition, the latter leading up to the final round in the form of an Oral Astronomy Quiz for the top 6 teams.

The Advanced Astronomy Competition lasts for two hours, while the Team Astronomy Competition involves an hour-long multiple choice quiz.

Author's note: I estimate that spectators (like myself) should arrive at the Theatre of the Arts, NYP, around 3 pm to be in time for the final round.

Welcome to 2010!
